Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that causes a wide array of symptoms, including widespread muscle pain, tenderness, and fatigue.

Although this condition does produce chronic pain, there are certain characteristics, both mental and physical, that are unique to fibromyalgia. "Fibro fog" is one such symptom that causes cognitive impairments, which may result in memory loss, increased stress, and sleep deprivation. Patients suffering from fibromyalgia may benefit from a number of conservative, alternative, and interventional treatment options for partial or complete pain relief. At AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Centers, our team may recommend physical therapy and trigger point therapy to increase a patient's range of motion and reduce their muscle pain and tension. Other therapies, like massage therapy, chiropractic care, and nutrition counseling, may be recommended to manage a fibromyalgia patient's mental health.
